On 4th October 2010 history was made, Warner Bros. finally got off of their gold-plated asses and signed a director to the long awaited (and untitled) Superman Project. It was not long before that man was revealed to be “300” and “Watchmen” director, Zack Snyder.
From there it didn’t take long for rumour and speculation surrounding story and villain to begin. A story appeared on The Hollywood Reporter that General Zod would be the villain of choice for the project.
Well it seems that this too, was simply speculation on THR’s part. Speaking to Badtaste.it, Snyder confirmed that, for now at least, General Zod’s appearance is just a rumour.
Speaking to French website, filmsactu.com, Snyder also confirmed that the film will focus on the early days of the Man of Steel:

“I have not really had time to work on the project. When I finish promoting Ga’Hoole, I could really harness myself. As I have already explained, the film will focus on the early days of Superman, so there will be no links with other films. This is not a remake then. Similarly, although I still cannot talk about the script—I can assure you that this new Superman will not be based on a comic book in particular.”
